cbSubs substitutions question

Hello again...

I am trying and testing for many hours searching the forum and the cb substitutions tutorial. I did not manage to fix what i want but i found what is going on.

The closest approach to what i want is the example that you have in your substitution tutorial...
[cb:if usergroup includes "2"]I have Registered Usergroup[/cb:if]

Well this is wrong... at least on my site. This should be...
[cb:if usergroup includes "2"]The displayed user has Registered Usergroup[/cb:if]

I tested it with many users and this is exactly what i get. [cb:if usergroup includes "2"] refers to the displayed user.

Then i tried the following... tested with User in Registered usergroup (id 2)
[cb:if user="#displayed" usergroup="2"]Testing if this message displays for registered user.[/cb:if]

Viewing his profile shows nothing!

I modify the substitution and make it not equal to 2...
[cb:if user="#displayed" usergroup!="2"]Testing if this message displays for registered user.[/cb:if]

Viewing his profile the message shows fine.

I am stack! I do not understand what made my site not to deal with substitutions correctly! I used the same substitutions on my previous JOOMLA 3 site without problems.

Now on a JOOMLA 4 site i have the above issues.

Can you please advise?

Thank you.

What user is used in the substitution is entirely subjective to where the substitution even is. Where are you using this substitution? In a Custom HTML field? In an auto action? In a CBSubs plan description? As a general rule fields default to the profile owner for substitutions while everything else typically defaults to the viewing user.

The substitution is in a Custom HTML field. Then the custom HTML field is passed to the Activity tab description lile this:

fieldname: cb_field

[cb:if reason="profile"][cb:userfield field="cb_field" /][/cb:if]

What we need is [cb:userfield field="cb_field" /] to return data of the viewing user.

Thank you

That should substitute based off the profile displayed by default. If you want viewing user then add user="#me" to your field substitution. So for example the below should work.

[cb:userfield field="cb_field" user="#me" /]
